Snow: Its all about Snow.

My cell phone beeps with revised weather advisories. Now they are calling for almost 2 feet of snow. That's up to 20 inches. That's a lot of shoveling.

Not quite prepared. Jim pulled put the snow thrower this afternoon. He put in the gasoline - - which poured out the bottom. The check-up the other day was wrong. Its not working afterall. Actually the repairman did not put something back somewhere. Sears cannot send anyone until Monday. HMMMMMMMM!

We completed all our errands. Stood in long lines at the Safeway. We have plenty of food. Bought the gasoline for the snow-thrower, which is not going to be throwing anything. Returned library books that were on the brink of over-due. Ordered more firewood. Even took the dog for her grooming. Then to top off the day, another Sears guy came and repaired our washer and dryer. We even have bird seed at the ready.

Funny about expecting snow isn't it? Kids are thinking about sledding and snow-men. Adults are bringing in food and setting out shovels. There will be stories to tell of this snow and snows past.

Frankly, I am most relieved that we are not traveling this week-end and I wish travel mercies and safety for all who are,

Stay warm! They are saying it is going to be a big snow here in West Virginia too! I went to the store today and it was just crazy with all of the shoppers!

Merry Christmas!

Wouldn't it have been nice if the Sears washer repair person could have fixed the snowblower also. Maybe you can just stay in and the repair guy on Monday can plow you out??
Snuggle and be happy! ;-)
